Splendid one, Ron, alas I have no details for this diving boat. I think by mid-1980's we had dispensed with own divers and used contractors after that (Northern Diving mainly).

The British Transport Docks Board (BTDB) was a nationalised industry, managing former railway-owned docks in Great Britain. It was created by the Transport Act 1962 and abolished by the Transport Act 1981, which provided for its privatisation as Associated British Ports.

So she was living beyond her time!
